"Those who yearn for the Good Old Days are bound to like it... Those who insist on the close reasoning and satirical wit of modern science fiction will find surprising amounts of both here, and if, like myself, you have a foot in both camps, you're sure to be delighted by this connoisseur's blend of the quaint and the ageless... not dated writing and is never likely to be, it's lucid, didactic, analytical, and above all, zestful." –Damon Knight, In Search of Wonder
